Over $135,000 collected from delinquent students

is funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars into a special account because of delinquent students.

Last Friday was the deadline for paying late fees on tuition, leaving students who have not paid, contributing to the special fund UCO has on campus for late fees.

The fund has accumulated over $135,000 from July through February from student late fees.

UCO has set up deadlines for paying tuition for classes, and every student must adhere to the guidelines or they will face a fine.

Jay Graham, assistant controller, said late fees are accumulated into the system by

a specific accounting code.

Each semester has a separate account and system code.

"Each specific kind of fee does get put into an account so we can keep track of the specifics of what is spent," Graham said.

"All of that kind of collection from that kind of fee is no different than lots of other kind of enrollment fees or penalties, they are just all lumped together and included in what are called Education In General (ENG) funds.

"They are all simply put together to run the university.

They are not earmarked in any special way. They are in with the $60 million or so that it takes to run the university," he said.

Record number of students now receiving financial aid

ecord levels of financial aid — $487.7 million — is available to students this year, according to reports from the Oklahoma Regents.

Also breaking records are the number of college students that are receiving financial aid.

"More than half of Oklahoma students are receiving some type of financial aid, compared to slightly more than one third of students in 1990," a report in the Daily Oklahoman said.

Oklahoma colleges and universities have distributed 250,970 financial aid awards and loans to 106,225 students.

That is more than double the amount awarded in 1990: Minorities are also receiving more financial aid than ever, about $126.9 million or 26 percent of the financial aid total.

Nine years ago minority students received 20 percent of the financial aid total.

"Oklahoma colleges and universities have some of the lowest tuition rates in the nation," said Hans Brich, Oklahoma County chancellor.

"However, Oklahoma higher education leaders are sensitive to the pressures that college costs may place on some students and their families, and have made more financial aid available than ever before."

Pratt won a fifth place medal in the event, which pits runners against each other in a 3,000 meter dash. Competitors must jump over hip-high barriers and run through water to the finish line as a part of the race. Pratt competed against runners from many Oklahoma universities as well as those from out-state schools.

He said the steeplechase is his favorite track event but is physically demanding.

State library grant protects UCO's technology edge

By Trent Dugas

StaffWriter The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education has received a grant from the Oklahoma Department of Libraries (ODL) in the sum of $765,659.25. This grant will give ODL more control over university libraries.

The money will add databases to the existing OneNet information systems in Oklahoma.

It will also give ODL total control when buying databases

LATE Continued from front page money to help run the college, Drew Duke from the Bursars office said his department does not have any say in how the money is spent.

He said most students do not agree with late fees but he said he thinks they are an aspect of school life.

"The rationale for the late payment penalties is simple," Duke said.

"If there is enrollment in a class, fees are due and if fees are not paid within a window defined it is totally appropriate for there to be a monitory incentive to take care of an obligation within a certain time frame."

He said there needs to be a penalty subsidized to the student if UCO has to take their resources to acquire a students tuition payment.

Duke said the penalties help offset those expenditures. He said as a last resort, the university will engage a collection agency onto the student.

"Immediately, there are passive ways it is dealt with," Duke said.

"The students are restricted from enrolling and from obtaining transcripts and when they deal with the student information terminal they see flags that indicates there were fees that were due. Then eventually it will be sent to a collection agency and persuaded that way."

All students may benefit in the future while still maintaining the State Regents' purchasing policy.

OneNet is a fibernet link connecting all libraries across the state to share electronic information, including UCO. Sharon Martin, director of distance learning, said the OneNet system effects almost every student on campus. She said any student who uses the Internet, had a distance learning class or who sends e-

mail from campus has used the OneNet system.

Martin said the OneNet system also allows UCO to preserve its technology edge.

The system permits UCO to give and receive distant learning courses to any other institution that uses the OneNet system.

OneNet also gives UCO the "The OneNet system is like ability to have multi-media uses including interactive a two-dimensional star," Martin said. "It is like a hub video, audio and data. with branches of information reaching out."

Martin said the new databases that ODL is buying will help the students

There are many options, he said, but the biggest option is not to be late.

"Its inaccurate to I think there is a belief say there is not an option other than late among students that this is payment penalties," just another way to get Duke said. them but it really has "There is a nothing to do with that... . monthly payment plan that students can be on that requires Drew Duke them to pay 25% of their tuition per Bursar month over a 4 month ',MMMWAVV2W',a He said he realizes his period and we would not asses department is not the most late payment penalties."

Duke said the special popular one on campus, but payment plan has over 1500 they still serve a vital need.

"I think there is a belief students participating.

"Its not meant to be punitive, among students that this is just its meant to encourage another way to get them but it compliance with our rules and really has nothing to do with its not unusual. This is how a that," Duke said.

"If it were just another way lot of schools deal with it," to get them, immediately we Duke said. would turn folks into collection The Bursars office does work with students to help them stay agencies. We could be super out of the late penalty box he hard-lined about this but we're not." said.

First UCO student to win Benedict fellowship

Continued from front page

UCO graduate wins scholastic award

By Ann Jayne StudentWriter Kelly Crow graduated from UCO with a Bachelor's of Arts degree in magazine journalism in December 1998.

She works as an editorial assistant for Oklahoma Today.

In February, she became the first student from UCO to win the H.Y, Benedict Fellowship of the a national Alpha Chi society.

"Alpha Chi is a national college honor scholastic society based on GPA," Crow said.

In early February, at the request of Dr. Margaret Flansberg, a humanities professor, Crow submitted an article she wrote, "Breaking More Than Sound Barriers," to the UCO Alpha Chi chapter. It was then submitted to nationals.

Crow's article was about Oklahoma women in aviation.

It was published in the July/August 98 aviation issue of Oklahoma Today.

New York is the place to be if you want to work in magazines.

There are hundreds of them... —Kelly Crow Benedict Fellowship award winner 41.7' .7%gc.:I140:NOMIZINt

"It's historical-based," Crow said.

Earlier this week, Flansberg received a letter informing her that Crow had won and will receive a check for $2,500.

"It was quite a surprise," Crow said. "I thought they picked a winner from every school.

This is the first time anyone from UCO has won it."

Crow said the Humanities Department submits articles to the contest each year.

"It's a bigger deal than I thought," Crow said. "I definitely need the money."

PAGE

Crow plans to use the money to buy books. She has been accepted to Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism in Manhattan.

In August, she will start a 10-month program to receive her Master's of Arts in journalism with concentration in magazines.

Crow said she would like to be a senior editor for a magazine some day.

She said that would allow her to still be a writer also.

"New York is the place to be if you want to work in magazines. There are hundreds of them," Crow said.

Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, said the working relationship between the State Regents and ODL to acquire these database tools for OneNet will be .a great help for UCO students with their studies.

"It is a lot of money but the libraries are getting a bang for their buck," Callahan said.

Because in essence, these databases are accessible to any library patron in academic and public libraries."

Carol Barry, director of

public services in the UC( library, said OneNet help students with assignments an term papers.

"It is important because provides for the electroni resources in our referenc area," Barry said.

"We access periodicals an, full text databases and searc banks.

Researchers discover spiral star BERKELEY, Calif. Researchers at UC-Berkeley have discovered a pair of stars revolving in a celestial waltz that leaves a pinwheeling tail of cosmic dust in their wake.

It is the first known sighting of a spiral star, and the findings, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, putting a new twist on the age-old image of stars as dots in the heavens.

"There is nothing that we know of that looks like that," said John Monnier, a physics graduate student and one of the three researchers behind the discovery. "It's extremely exiting."

The star in question is named Wolf-Rayet 104, and it is three times larger and 100,000 times brighter than the sun. Its distance from Earth - 28 million billion miles - shrouded the star in secrecy until telescope technology pioneered last year gave Monnier and his colleagues the clearest view yet of WolfRayet 104.

What they found shocked them. Wolf-Rayet 104 appears not like a disk or sphere, but a

quotation mark with a spiral "tail" of dust 18 billion miles long.

"When we first saw the data coming in, we thought it was something out of Star Trek," said research physicist Peter Tuthill.

"It didn't look real."

The discovery offers insights into the mechanics of stellar wind, which blows the fundamental building blocks of nature to the far corners of the universe.

And it may solve a riddle that has long puzzled astronomers: How can cosmic dust exist in an such an inhospitable environment?

Wolf-Rayet 104 is buffeted by stellar winds blowing at more than 620 miles per second. That wind kicks up a lot of cosmic dust, and scientists have long wondered why. Many argue the immense radiation cast by WolfRayet stars would incinerate everything in its path.

"It is a puzzle how the dust got there," Tuthill said. "That's something scientists have been throwing bread rolls at each other over at conferences for

VII..•.. 4.....0.1... 41, .........a011... 4P.40 OD

years."

Tuthill and his colleagues discovered Wolf-Rayet 104 is a binary star, meaning it has a second, smaller "twin" lurking nearby. The researchers theorize stellar winds blowing off the two stars collide, creating a cocoon that protects the dust from the stars' radiation.

"It's like a snowflake between two blow torches," said lead researcher William Danchi. "It's amazing."

The star's spiral shape is created as the stellar wind blows the dust outward, much like a lawn sprinkler sprays water in a circular pattern, Danchi said.

Danchi and his colleagues continue searching for other spiral stars to bolster their theory, and so far they've found two.

They're keeping mum on the details until they have been published.

Danchi and his colleagues relied upon the latest technology afforded by the Keck 1 telescope in Hawaii - the world's largest optical telescope- to make their discovery.

Holocaust survivor, author Blumenthal at UCO today

By Anna Jeffrey 6 6 StudentWriter If you've ever wondered what it was like to live through the Holocaust just ask Marion Blumenthal Lazan today.

Renowned author, Blumenthal Lazan will be on campus April 13 to tell her story about how she survived the Holocaust.

She will be speaking about her experiences to UCO students at 7 p.m. April 13th in the University Center's Constitutional Hall.

Blumenthal Lazan spent her childhood as a Jewish prisoner in Nazi refugee, transit and prison camps. She lived to write the book, The Four Perfect Pebbles- A Holocaust Story, a memoir of her experiences in Nazi Germany.

Dr. Robert Epstien, a UCO business professor, said he felt Blumenthal Lazan's upcoming appearance may encourage all in the UCO community to examine their personal beliefs regarding atrocities.

If we decide to only care for ourselves, who will be there for us when they come for us.

—Dr. Robert Epstien, business professor ' MMI>FASSWOMORKSIMAGENEW,

"Marion Blumenthal Lazan is a witness and a survivor of the Holocaust, one of the lowest points in human history.

What did we stand for then, what do we stand for now," he said.

"If we decide to only care for ourselves, who will be there for us when they come for us. Listening to her, I think, may help us resolve what is important and what God expects us to do."

The event is sponsored by the Student Programming Board and Foreign Language Department.

See HONORS, Page 7

Students considering transferring to UCO will find more of their classes accepted for credit, due to recent changes made by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.

The regents have added 497 more courses to those transferable among Oklahoma state colleges and universities, bringing the total to 4,187.

Courses in computer science, criminal justice, world/foreign languages, information systems and philosophy/religion have been added to the listing.

"Streamlining the transfer process is a priority of the State Regents, and we will continue our efforts in this area," said State Regents' Chairman John Massey.

"I don't do weekends."

"Because working part-time at UPS...I don't have to. They have five-day schedules that leave your 'weekends free.

That is plenty of time to study or go out with friends. And I make plenty too... almost 510,000 a year working about 4 bows a day. UPS knows students value Mile as Daub as money. So if you don't do weekends, do contact UPS.

Daniel spoke about HOF Light, a fire starter for charcoal which produces its own oxygen and no petroleum vapors. As part of her presentation, Daniel cooked hot dogs for the

class to display how HOF Light leaves no after taste on food.

Getting ready for the taste test, Jason Pierce (right) and Amy Scott (right) spoon some relish and squirt some ketchup onto their hot dog buns. The class, including Dr. Kleeman, tested the flavor of the hot dogs after enjoying Daniel's campus cookout presentation.

LEADERSHIP Nicholas Harrison has been an unparalleled force for change and activism on this campus. He ran for the Oklahoma State House of Representatives during the summer at the age of twenty-one as the youngest candidate in the state. He came back to the University of Central Oklahoma and served as the Deputy President Pro Tempore of the newly-founded UCOSA Senate — helping to establish a tradition of excellence and advocacy in representation of student interests and the distribution of student activity funds. Nicholas Harrison served as the President of the Residence Hall Association — promoting service and affordability as key elements of the Residence Life program. He represented the University of Central Oklahoma at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature as Parliamentarian for the House and a Candidate for Speaker. Nicholas Harrison served as UCOSA Senator for the Presidents' Club and was subsequently elected Vice President by his peers. And, he has helped to establish the Sigma Nu Fraternity as a founding member of the new colony.

DEDICATION Nicholas Harrison has served as a dedicated student advocate throughout his educational career.

Two years ago when every student government association in the state except Rose State College embraced an across-the-board tuition increase, Nicholas Harrison stood up alone against political giants like U.S. Senator and Governor David Boren, Governor George Nigh, and Speaker Glen Johnson and fought against the increase at the Oklahoma State Capitol. He met with state legislators on an individual, one-on-one basis and explained the negative effects of such an increase — coming to within two votes of killing the tuition increase for the first time in over thirty years and earning the respect of state legislators on both sides of the aisle. The following two years, Nicholas Harrison went back to the State Capitol again and worked behind the scenes to prevent the State Board of Regents from seizing control of the authority to set tuition and raise the rates at will — convincing the House to remove the provision for a bill last year and killing a proposal in the House Education Committee this year. He has served as a strong voice for accountability and affordability in the state higher education system.

COMMITMENT Nicholas Harrison is committed to a vision of expanding student influence, activity, and involvement on campus. He seeks the inclusion of student opinion during all aspects of the decision-making process.

He supports equal student representation on all committees and task forces with faculty representation and he seeks more student oversight and input in the overall University budget process. Nicholas Harrison wants to reach out to the students and make it easier for students' voices to be heard. He supports the establishment of a voluntary orientation program for new student organization officers to help them learn more about what UCOSA, the Administration, and other campus resources can do for them. He wants to get more people involved by recruiting students from a broader spectrum to serve in UCOSA offices and on University committees and task forces. He also wants to include more student organization presidents in the process by asking them for appointments and recommendations. Finally, Nicholas Harrison would also like to strengthen and streamline student government. He supports the establishment of written procedures for the election, appointment, appropriation, and discipline processes to give the average student a better idea of how the system works. He also endorses the adoption of a Student Bill of Rights which guarantees certain basic freedoms and protections while on campus.

AT&T to charge customers at least $5 a month y Jon Van

l'ollegePressWriter I Every consumer has heard the 'usiness battle cry: You can't lave somethingfor nothing.

Cable companies charge you or all those prepackaged TV :hannels, even if you never watch them. Credit-card ;ompanies try to get you with he interest rate on the balance you carry, or by hitting you with in annual fee for the card, or with one of the latest levelopments - the fee levied on )eople who pay off their charges n full every month.

Now comes AT&T Corp., vhich said Wednesday that ,ustomers who never make a ong-distance call will pay at east $5 a month for their longlistance service, beginning this ummer.

Experts say these fees reflect he fact that in intensely iompetitive industries, like inancial services and elecommunications, some `ustomers cost businesses aoney.

"When phone service was a aonopoly and prices were igher, they could afford to have 'eople connected to the network who seldom used it," said Joel 'ioldhar, a business professor at he Illinois Institute of 'echnology.

"But now that competition is 'riving down prices for high'olume users, the phone ompanies are no longer able to iabsidize those who don't use it such," he said.

The good news for onsumers, Goldhar said, is that people who don't like it, don't Ave to pay it. There are lots of tternatives." ' However, figuring out what se alternatives are isn't easy, 'tanks to what many consumers ;gard as fiendishly complicated hone bills and arcane billing ractices.

A hint of the fees to come arted last year when AT&T, the ation's largest phone company, arted charging its new istomers a minimum of $3 a ionth on top of its flat monthly ;es of $1.78 plus tax for longstance service.

Now, AT&T says, that policy ill apply to all basic rate istomers, beginning this July.

The company said it needs the es so AT&T can break even on ; low-volume customers.

But consumer advocates ?wled in protest, calling the rove a sly way to extract more oney from an unsuspecting xblic that is bewildered by tone bills they find about as infusing as a federal income K form.

"Scientists understand more

about the origin of the universe than most people understand about their phone bill," said Martin Cohen, executive director of the Chicago-based Citizens Utilities Board.

"Even though your phone bill looks more and more like a phone book, if you don't study it every month, you're likely to be ripped off," said Cohen.

AT&T's billing practices offer a case study in how the status of

the simplest customer can become maddeningly complex.

Even though the company says its average monthly costs per customer exceed $3 "whether they make calls or not," in practice AT&T doesn't even send out bills each month to its customers who make no calls.

Instead, it saves up monthly fixed charges and applies them every three months, so customers who have made no AT&T calls

AT&T's basic rate customers. It estimates about 10 million of these customers make less than $3 in long-distance calls each month, costing the company $300 million in losses.

AT&T isn't the only longdistance provider that charges customers even when they make no phone calls, but once its $3 fee is applied to all customers, it appears AT&T will charge the

AT&T Continued from page 17 most.

MCI WorldCom Inc. also has a $3 fee for customers who make no calls as well as a flat monthly fee of $1.07 plus tax, and MCI also saves up charges for noncallers and bills them quarterly for flat fees and minimum charges. . Sprint Corp. has a flat monthly fee of 85 cents plus tax and no monthly minimum charge.

For customers of AT&T and

MCI who do make at least $3 in

calls each month, the minimum fee is applied to their calls, so only customers who make very few calls or no calls feel the pinch of the minimum-fee policy.

"What they're saying to customers who use the service infrequently or not at all is that 'We don't want your business,"' said Terry Barnich, president of Chicago-based New Paradigm Resources Group consultancy.

"It's a wonderful opportunity for competitors, and I'll bet one thing is certain: Once Ameritech is allowed into long-distance, AT&T will roll back this charge in a heartbeat."

People who seldom make long-distance calls and want to avoid paying large monthly fees can opt to have no designated long-distance carrier, said an Ameritech spokeswoman. That results in a monthly charge of only 53 cents plus tax for various

connection fees.

Customers who select that option still receive incoming long-distance calls, and they can make long-distance calls by using dial-around carriers that offer service to anyone calling their seven-digit access number.

Or, they can buy prepaid calling cards and use the 800 numbers listed on the back tomake calls.

But this kind of arrangement requires more effort than people who don't often call long-

distance may wish to make.

"So it's still possible to us your phone without gettin ripped off with all these monthl charges, but it's become a higl energy item. You have to becom a smart shopper for somethin you seldom use," said Andres Lubetkin, a Winnetka,Il1.-base telecommunications consultant. ."That's not what Congres. had in mind when it passed th newtelecommunications law."

Called the enemy, reporters become targets of violence

By Terry Jackson

CollegePressWriter For U.S. television journalists covering NATO airstrikes in Yugoslavia, the video highlights are all too similar to events in Baghdad just four months ago: Cruise missiles arrive in the night. Anti-aircraft fire stitches the sky. Explosions light up the city.

Yet in the Balkans battle, TV crews in Belgrade, Pristina and elsewhere have faced a challenge that wasn't present in Iraq.

In Yugoslavia, reporters from NATO countries often are seen as the enemy.

Easily identified by the camera equipment they carry, reporting crews have become targets of threats and violence from paramilitary soldiers in Kosovo and citizens in Belgrade.

"They consider reporters to be foreign propaganda agents," CBS correspondent Mark Phillips said.

"They feel the U.S. media demonized them by reporting on the massacres, and that brought about the bombs that are raining down on them."

CNN spokesman David Bittler said that the cable network - the only U.S. news service available in Yugoslavia has been denounced as "a factory of lies," and that the night the

bombing began, a photo of correspondent Chris Burns was shown on Yugoslav TV, identifying him as an enemy of the state.

Another CNN correspondent, Brent Sadler, was confronted in Pristina by two paramilitary soldiers. One soldier held out his hand. In his palm were two bullets. "These are for you," the soldier reportedly told Sadler.

Moments later, the CNN crew - Sadler, producer Alessio Vinci and camera operator Christian Streib - was set upon by a mob, their vehicle set on fire and $500,000 in equipment destroyed, stolen or confiscated by soldiers.

Such incidents, along with the official expulsion March 25 of more than 30 journalists and mostly hostile interviews with Yugoslav officials, are in marked contrast to the Iraqi conflict, this decade's benchmark for you-arethere TV news coverage.

"For the most part, even with an active bombing campaign in Iraq, the Iraqis understood that we were separate. It seems the Iraqis hold the U.S. government responsible, not the media or individual Americans," said Will King, CNN's vice president of international news coverage.

CBS' Phillips agrees: "There is a pretty vivid contrast between how the Iraqis handle

Man planning on broadcasting sex with 15-year-old arrested in Michigan

By Tina Lam

CollegePressWriter DETROIT - A western Michigan man who thought he was going to have sex with a 15-year-old girl and broadcast it live on the Internet discovered Tuesday night that the girl he thought he'd met online was a middle-aged sheriff's sergeant.

Brian R. Meyer, 44, was arrested by Wayne County Sheriff's deputies at a Bill Knapp's restaurant in Livonia, Mich. - where the online lovers agreed to meet. Meyer brought along a teddy bear as a gift for her.

"This is really the creepiest guy we've caught, ever," said Ralph Kinney, deputy chief of the sheriff's staff. It was the fifth arrest since the sheriff's three-member cyberporn sting unit went online in late December.

Meyer seemed shocked and surprised when he was arrested, said Sgt. Robert Johnson, who posed as the girl online. "He was apologetic," said Johnson.

Sheriff Robert Ficano said Meyer had been chatting on the Internet since January with officers in the unit who posed as girls. Team members have been stunned at how many older men are seeking girls for sex through chat rooms, Ficano said. "They're no longer prowling parks looking for kids," he said. "This takes no courage. You're anonymous."

Talking about sex online is protected by constitutional free speech rights, but men who solicit underage youths for sex are engaging in illegal behavior, Ficano said.

Meyer apparently believed he was talking online to three girls ages 13 to 15, Ficano said. Meyer spoke once by phone to a woman posing as one of the girls, Ficano said.

Meyer said online that he would meet the girl at the restaurant and take her to his home in Rockford, Mich., near Grand Rapids, for several days. He said he would photograph and videotape them having sex and broadcast the material on the Internet, Ficano said.

Deputies found the teddy bear and condoms in Meyer's car.

correspondents and the Yugoslays. Then again, the Iraqis have had more practice at it."

The years of on-and-off bombing in Iraq also has allowed TV news organizations to get their war coverage down pat, leading to a sameness of coverage across the dial. Only now, in the Balkans, getting the pictures is more of a dangerous game.

Phillips, speaking by phone from Tirana, Albania, where he went after being expelled last week from Belgrade, said that while reporters in Baghdad were closely watched and had government "minders" dictating where crews could go, there was little hostility.

"They really didn't interfere with any of the - I hesitate to call it this- the play-by-play coverage of the incoming bombing," he said.

The iron-fisted control that Saddain Hussein wields in Iraq, compared to the more unsettled landscape in the Balkans, helps explain the different atmosphere.

Hussein could issue a hands-off edict about reporters and be confident it would be carried out, King said.

"In Yugoslavia, there are several levels of authority issuing different orders," the CNN executive said. "Also, there's a ground war between several

factions in Yugoslavia that isn't present in Iraq."

There's also apparent They just don't conflict within Milosevic's government. A day after have an journalists from NATO countries were expelled, the appreciation for the government issued visas for some, like Sadler, to return, way journalism is though until this week much done in the rest of of the video seen on U.S. news shows still was limited the world. to Serb-run TV footage.

Hank Aaron's now celebrated home run was plagued by racism

By Jeff Miller Knight-Ridder-Neswspapers wenty-five years ago on April 11th, Hank Aaron drove a ball into the Atlanta Braves' bullpen to become the greatest home run hitter of all time.

It was the ultimate peak for a player who was remarkably level. It turned Babe Ruth into the most celebrated runner-up ever. It silenced - at least for one trip around the bases - the sickening screams of racism.

It was No. 715, and today we remember it the way we do all the best trips in life. By looking at the snapshots.

As he approached the record, Aaron received an estimated 3,000 letters a day, many filled with hatred because he was a black man replacing a white hero.

When the Braves traveled, they often had two rooms for him, one in his name and the other where he actually stayed. Aaron had a full-time bodyguard, and the Braves posted FBI agents at each gate on game days.

T

"One time, some kids set off a cherry bomb in the men's room," said Bob Hope, then the team's publicist. "You knew who knew about the threats by who dove under a table."

One of Aaron's daughters was attending college at the time and was harassed. His sons had to be transferred to a private school.

Compare that to Matt McGwire serving as bat boy last season while Dad broke Roger Maris' single-season record.

"I just wished for a moment I could have enjoyed it like (Mark) McGwire and (Sammy) Sosa enjoyed it last year," Aaron said. "I was deprived of a lot of the things that should have belonged to me and my family."

Fear for Aaron's safety flashed even during his trot after No. 715. Two fans jumped onto the field and chased him down to congratulate him before security intervened.

"I always felt no matter what I was doing I was safe in the ballpark," Aaron said. "I felt I was surrounded by angels and had God's hand on my shoulder.

ball and made three left turns.

Of course, things have changed since then. Sosa's antics would have been as out of place in 1974 as someone saying, "I have Hank Aaron in the fantasy league."

"Hank hit his home runs just far enough to get over the fence," former Dodgers pitcher Charlie Hough I just wish for a said. "It's like he didn't moment I could have want to embarrass you by enjoyed it like (Mark) hitting those monster bombs."

McGwire and By comparison, players (Sammy) Sosa like Willie Mays - with his flashy defense and spirited enjoyed it last year. base running - were more celebrated. But Aaron —Hank Aaron finished ahead of Mays in nearly every offensive ffi,,14:2Malre category. it was over."

"Hank Aaron did everything For a man whose performance Willie Mays did," broadcaster ignited so much talk about color, Aaron largely was colorless. His Ernie Johnson Sr. once said, "but played straight forward and with his hat didn't fall off."

He understands why his phone a straight face, his bat making the kind of noise he never would. is ringing again and why he's He did no chest-thumping or more popular today than he was kiss-throwing. He didn't bash a quarter century ago.

He paused.

"Besides," Aaron added, "they would have been a dime short and a nickel late by then because

"that people can't go talk to the captain of the Titanic and say, 'Hey, they made a movie about you."'

Downing is the other half of history. He was the Dodger who threw the pitch that became No. 715.

"I'd be more embarrassed about giving up a homer to a .220-lifetime hitter who spent two days in the big leagues," he said. "I'm not embarrassed about giving up a home run to Hank Aaron. I was proud to be a part of that moment."

Downing doesn't own a video tape of the at-bat but doesn't need one either.

"The video is in my mind," he said. "That's more important to me."

The players in the Braves bullpen had divied up squares of turf to patrol when Aaron came up. Stories were flying about how much the ball would be worth, including one claim that Sammy Davis Jr. was offering $30,000. Fans arrived at the park with fishing nets, hooks and rope ladders.

Wheelchair jokes aside, Rolling Stones establish tradition

By Timothy Finn

CollegePressWriter Mick Jagger will turn 56 on July 26, but neither he nor any of his fellow Rolling Stones formed in 1962, a year before Jordan was born - appears ready to lay their games to rest. And they have no reason to, at least judging by the number of people chattering in the cold outside the arena, offering lots of money for a seat - any seat - inside.

Jordan quit while he was still way on top, before he could lose another noticeable step. The Stones? To paraphrase Dave Barry, they seem hopelessly and enthusiastically devoted to years of continued (and lucrative) immaturity followed by death.

The Stones' longevity has become cliched fodder for comedians and writers who resent the band's willingness to perform old tricks in front of large crowds for lots of money. The reviewer in the Chicago Tribune would get awfully liberal with the ageist adjectives in his review of the Stones show: "haggard," "wrinkled," "weathered," "grizzled" and "heavy-faced."

Hmm. So I guess the answer is: What, term limits?

OK, these truths are almost self-evident: Keith Richards' face has more lines than "Hamlet"; Ron Wood, 51, looks slightly deficient in iron-rich blood; and throughout 20 songs, Charlie Watts,- 57, maintained the same expression - that of a man folding laundry. Maybe time isn't completely on their side anymore.

Funny, though, how critics don't whine about age when they write about Bob Dylan (58), who will tour this summer with Paul Simon (57). Or when they write about Van Morrison (54) or Joni Mitchell (55) or, for that matter, B.B. King (73) or John Lee Hooker (78) - very seasoned guys who still sing about debauchery, darkness and sin. "Sweet home, Chicago," Richards, 56, said wistfully to the crowd as it rained applause on the band. Yeah, he knows his audience, but he respects his elders, too.

The price of tickets to the No Security Tour is another, bigger bone of contention. In Kansas City, tickets started around $50 and ran as high as $250 - all that for a show with a big corporate sponsor/underwriter (Tommy Hilfiger) but few extravagances.

But, as the crowd at the very sold-out United Center in Chicago showed, people don't just "see" the Stones, they -have an audience with them; they rent proximity to them; they buy a return to forever.

Ever the capitalist/opportunists, the Stones do what every megasuperstar celebrity does in this culture of vulgar gluttony: Get the most they can for their names and their services. Unfortunately homage ain't cheap. Remember: Jordan made more than $400,000 a game last year.

But do the 1999 Rolling Stones got enough game to earn their prohibitive wage? That depends on what you're looking for.

Jagger is as trim and fit as a

dancer, and to prove it he lifted his tight T-shirt a couple of times to show off his buffed abdomen.

Vocally he shot about 90 percent; his only bricks were the high notes on "Moonlight Mile."

Richards unexpectedly showed lots of charm, humility and boyish gratitude.

Between scabrous versions of the bottleneck blues number "You Got the Silver" and "Before They Make Me Run," his face nearly swept the floor as he bowed to the crowd. "Thanks," he said sheepishly. "Always a pleasure."

And as he and Wood walked the runway from the second stage back to the main stage, they slowed and stooped low to slap hands with nearly everyone within reach (meaning the pilgrims in the $250 seats).

The stage was otherwise open and unencumbered by props and spectacle (which lets the tour sell most of the seats behind the stage). No matter where you sit, though, you'll have a view, thanks to the video screens and the skilled camera operators who know how to maintain a rapid and interesting visual pulse.

The best numbers (no kidding) were the old ones, the songs that still stand without the slightest wobble: They opened with a safe, sure-fire version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and threw in equally true renditions of Honky Tonk Woman" and "Brown Sugar." My favorite was "Paint It Black," a gust of dark psychedelia electrified by that feverish guitar riff. Compared to that, the latterday hits, especially "Start Me Up," felt stiff and pale.

I think the Stones make records to give themselves another excuse to tour and play all their great old songs. And who can blame them? From 1966 to 1978 they put out no fewer than six superb albums. Why not live off those?

"We have to go out there and find out if it can be done," Richards told Gary Graff of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently.

"Why can't you have a grown-up rock 'n' roll as well as the influx from the young end?"

Not that there's a flood of great material coming from that young end, either. The Goo Goo Dolls, part of that influx, opened for the

Stones in Chicago. Funny how dated their music is starting to sound. (Think you'll be singing "Iris" in a packed basketball arena 25 years from now?)

Age is not the issue, here, even if your drummer is a grandfather.

The issue is tradition. Unlike older forms of music like jazz, country and the blues, rock is just starting to sustain an older generation of performers and, thus, fans. Note this: Bruce Springsteen will turn 50 shortly after his very anticipated U.S. tour begins this year.

"It's obvious you're going to have old rock 'n' roll singers," Jagger said recently, "though some of them may look very ungainly. Some of the country singers don't look that great, but they sound all right."

The Stones still sound all right, just all right, but they won't be around a whole lot longer. One day they'll suffer a loss - a death or a departure - they can't endure.

When they're gone - and all the potshots about age, frailty, Viagra and hip replacements have subsided - lots of music fans are going to feel sad and lost.

Ten things men should always carry in a purse 3y Brandon Moeller

,ollegePressWriter "Men are stupid," my friend 'lance said last weekend, when we were on our way to Denny's. He as suffering from a severe ieadache brought on by the Y2K risis.

"We need to come together as a coup of men and finally decide to any around a bag — like a purse so whenever we need something eve can dig through it and get what Ve need. We should keep our ackpacks with us at all time and 1ock them with all of the male t ecessities."

He's right. We shouldn't leave he house without a number of ems. Our brain capacity is about rle size of a peanut compared to a koman's. We forget everything xcept for our cash and our keys.

Here is a list of items that I ropose we men should start ,arrying with us everywhere:

Headache medicine — I don't know how many times I've been away from home and have had to stop at a convenience store and pay $10 for a bottle of Excedrin. I have close to 10 bottles at home right now. I never take them with me; therefore, the next time I get a headache, I'll have to buy more.

A Mag-Lite flashlight — This handy invention lets us see our way through campus if our busy day at the University turns into a busy night. A Mag-Lite is also a great substitute for several things. For instance, say you're strolling through the ghetto at two in the morning and you're approached by an angry Rottweiler who doesn't like your cologne or a Girl Scout selling her cookies on a street corner. One wave of the Mag-Lite, and they'll know you're not one to mess with.

A pocket knife — Never leave home without one. Of course, you won't need to use it every day, but

when that one day comes, that one day you can't get that damned meal ration from the cafeteria open, you'll be wishing you brought your knife. It can also be used as a toothpick or to cut the next thing you need in your purse — um, I mean backpack — which is...

Duct tape — Whenever anything falls apart — your backpack, car, computer, a relationship with an intern — remedy the problem with duct tape.

The latest issue of Playboy — Hey guys: ever been in this situation? You sit down at your favorite hangout with a group of girls you don't know, and you have the sudden urge to impress them, but since you're a male, you don't quite know how? Just whip out the latest edition of Playboy magazine and they'll be sure to recognize you as a man who keeps up with the current issues.

Forward this: a response to e-mail chain letters

CollegePressWriter "Warning: If you do not pass this on, something as bad as these in the stories or WORSE will happen to you."

Please, if this were really true, I would have been dead a long time ago.

Fortunately, I've been able to steer clear of any 18wheelers that would like to make me their next road kill victim.

Forwards. They are an almost unavoidable part of everyday life for anyone who holds an e-mail account. In my opinion, bored college kids

who have a lot of extra time on their hands make up most of these stories.

These little hassles are received on the average of three to four messages in a day.

More if everyone has your address, less if you are one of the fortunate ones.

If any of these stories actually come true, I should receive a check in the amount of $500 dollars, a trip to Disney Land, while possibly finding my soul mate in the next seven days. Do you think that if you forward a message to as many people that you can think of you're going to be

paid for it?

By sending one of the forwards to just 10 of my friends my crush will ask me out. On the other hand if I don't send a different one in the next hour of receiving it, I am going to have bad luck in relationships for the rest of my life.

I don't think this is a very legit way to base the future of my relationships on. If I was going to have bad luck in relationships for the rest of my life, I probably don't need some forward to tell me.

What I don't get is why all the meaningless ones get

passed around to everyone.

In my case I receive most of my forwards from my friends.

If they know that they are dumb and they don't want them, then why do they send them to me?

With the overabundance of all the forwards that are being passed around, I know that I, and some of my friends, are starting to delete them without even reading them. Unless there is a check made out to me when you send it, or you really want to be involved in a kiss war with me, don't waste your time.

While most of these

forwards are just company fo, my trash can, some of them, have to admit, can be comical Most of the jokes are prett funny in a sick sort of way an who wouldn't want to take cool quiz? So not all of then are bad, but just learn to soi them before you send them.

As a last bit of helpfu information, here's a forwar4 not to waste your time with. I you received the, "So kewl gotta try this," forward that yo) have to send to 11 people don't. Sorry to disappoint the people who want to see th , really hilarious video, becaus , A there isn't one.

e et nee protecting Despite its efforts UCO has once again fallen behind the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University in promoting a positive campus atmosphere.

But this time the lacking performance has not come from administrators. Rather, it's come from studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;in the form. of UCO Student Association House of Representatives members who have indirectly said it's OK to harass gay students.

The House members- are currently trying to deny legislators' attempts to add the words "sexual orientation" to the discrimination protection portion of the Student Bill of Rights. Both OU and OSU have a clause in their bills of rights protecting homosexuals.

In essence the UCO student leaders have indirectly said that all students should be protected from discrimination, unless they're gay.

Many House leaders claimed they could not back the inclusion of the words "sexual orientation" because they felt homosexuality is an affront to their Christian beliefs. Others hinted that they would lose their seats in tomorrow's election if they voted for the controversial measure.

Regardless, House members need to wake up. They need to leave their personal aspirations and feelings outside the house chamber doors and remember that they were elected to serve all studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; even the gay ones they are now trying to discriminate against.

Pujan Roka IThe Vista

Columnist: Is personal responsibility a thing of the past?

CO administrators, get your lawyers ready because prepare yourselves. a new era has arrived.

I knew it would happen Tell your professors sooner or later, it was just a to be more organized, start

U

matter of time. The transition has begun.

The "I, me, mine" generation from the public school system has finally caught up with institutions of higher education.

The MTV generation has started suing colleges and universities because the students are not catered to, and they have laid their mark on a school in Texas.

Twelve students at the Houston branch of Southern Methodist University (SMU) have filed a lawsuit against the private college.

They maintain that a class they took, and failed, in June of '97 was too hard.

Let me repeat this. They are suing the college because a class they, took was too hard.

The course was one which offered -instruction in Microsoft computer operation. The

wwiremithgawAvaitout checking the university equipment and begin dumbing down courses.

UCO students, prepare yourselves. Close all your textbooks and do not attend class because I have got a plan for you: Ignore your professors and

certificate they would have gained from the course would have prepared them to earn jobs with Microsoft.

The students claim that the course was too hard, the professors were unprepared every class period and the equipment never worked.

Usually, a class with Microsoft in the title is by my hunch, a class about computers.

The whole point of taking computer classes is to be educated about computers!

There are no secrets.

Jason Crowson, the students' attorney, said the students have a case and they were misled because the school did not explain through the course listing how difficult the class was.

The worst part about the situation is the students who sued all failed the final test.

Failing the final test does not reflect the fact that the school left out pertinent information from the class listing. You should figure out that the class is over your head in the first couple of weeks when you can still drop the course.

So the students went through

the whole course not learning a thing, and then claimed they were surprised when the final exam was given and they failed it. I find that hard to believe.

They may have a point to their lawsuit about unprepared professors and broken equipment, however.

How many times have students been burned by lazy professors and broken equipment? Probably the same number of times that professors have been burned by lazy students and the same broken equipment.

As absurd as this lawsuit sounds, there is probably a voice deep down in every student across college campuses saying "finally, somebody will listen to our academic problems."

But there is a bigger picture here and that picture is the lawsuit's reflection of society.

What happened to people taking responsibility for their own actions? What happened to integrity and credibility among people?

Can the suing students not

realize that they are accountable for failing the class. It's not the university's fault.

Courts all across America are booked solid with petty lawsuits, such as these. These are the same lawsuits that do nothing but show America's greed and ability to not accept responsibility. These students are now becoming a part of the greed that has infected America.

They should realize that failing a class is not grounds for a lawsuit. As humans do, they will fail many times in life. We cannot keep suing at every disappointment. But I fear it's only the beginning.

...Students, prepare yourselves. Close all your textbooks and do not attend class because I have got a plan for you.
